Step 5. The High/Low Pressure Alarm thresholds
auto track the pressure waveform by 5 mbar. The
alarm thresholds can be adjusted if required. The
thresholds are found in the pressure waveform
window.
Step 6. The Cycle Fail Alarm threshold auto tracks
the PIP setting. The alarm threshold can be
adjusted if required. The threshold is found in the
pressure waveform window.
16.3.2 Interactive and limiting controls in CPAP
The user needs to be aware that the following
controls interact.
The CPAP control interacts with the PIP control.
When increasing the CPAP pressure, the PIP
pressure will track accordingly, if initially below the
starting CPAP level.
The PIP control is limited by the CPAP. The user
cannot decrease the PIP level below the CPAP
level. The CPAP parameter control displays a
warning stating the limiting pressure.
Note: Ti (Insp. time) and PIP parameters are
for the Manual and Backup Breaths.
The ventilator is now ready to be
connected to the patient under user
supervision. Prior to and after
connection, it is the user’s
responsibility to adjust and monitor
the ventilation parameters to suit the
patient’s medical condition.
